Overwhelming and convincing argument.
I would like to see the argument for the opposite, since there are so
many characters that are alike. We have the n-dash and the em-dash for
the hyphen, and unicode (being 31-bit) doubtlessly will have tons of oth
er similar characters. How do you suggest to go about and find them all?
What will this gain in clarity of the language definition, and how do
you propose to deal with ambiguities in the syntax (the high ascii chars
normally being part of a string.)
In any event, the definition of ' for Scheme (i.e. # in LilyPond) is
set by the R5RS standard. We cannot change that.
In short, I think it is bad idea, and I wish people would just trust my
judgement for once.
